Acquisitions – How and What to Look for During Due Diligence

On Tuesday, October 29, Leech Tishman Partner Forrest T. Passerin will be presenting about corporate due diligence in acquisition transactions, in a webinar hosted by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) titled, “Acquisitions – How and What to Look for During Due Diligence.”

About This Event

Due diligence is a critically important piece of purchasing another business. Yet too many owners get caught up in the exuberance of expansion and end up limiting their examination to financial aspects and condition, ignoring other necessary areas of inquiry in which landmines may be hiding.

This is particularly true in private transactions involving non-publicly traded companies where the much, if not all, of a target company’s information, is not in the public domain.

Join Forrest Passerin to take a closer look at the due diligence process. You’ll learn what areas to focus on and how to organize and go about performing this critical function.

By implementing an effective and organized due diligence process, you’ll put yourself in a position to analyze the critical factors that determine whether or not the acquisition you’re considering will be successful and help you avoid unnecessary surprises after the acquisition is complete.
